 Awesome Business Connect Advisor Gary Wheatstone, was able to step through the Start-up Health check diagnostic tool with Warren. This process helped Warren to complete a start-up budget and hone his service model. Gary worked through his business plan, focusing on cash flow forecasts, break-even analysis, budget setting and market place positioning, specifically Unique Service Offering. Warren spent considerable time researching different options for locations and inspecting numerous commercial premises over many months before settling on his "ideal" location in the main retail precinct with plentiful passing trade. He opened the doors recently and already has numerous bookings as well as bringing many of his previous clients to the new practice. You can contact Warren for further information HERE.
